Obamacare 'navigators' raise ID-theft risk

(MYJOURNALCOURIER) — Growing concerns about identity theft and fraud have led the Illinois Department of Insurance to issue a public warning, just as the new health insurance exchanges enter their implementation phase.

Concern focuses on those charged with assisting Illinoisans with enrollment to the new health insurance exchanges, the so-called “navigators.”

Navigators will “educate consumers about the health insurance Marketplace, answer health coverage-related questions, and facilitate consumers’ selection of affordable health coverage through the Marketplace,” according to the navigator training manual.

Should Americans who refuse to participate in Obamacare be punished?

Yes, they should lock them up and throw away the key

Yes, if they disobey the law they should be punished to the full extent of the law

Yes, non-participation hurts everyone

Yes, the law was duly enacted and civil disobedience should always be punished

Yes, it's just like not paying taxes

No, but I have no doubts this government will selectively enforce this law

No, at this point, hardly anyone is participating, but it will come to that

No, the law is egregiously unconstitutional

No, and millions of Americans need to stand together like the founders did and test the law

No, but I am prepared to go to jail if necessary to protest this un-American, totalitarian outrage
